WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the LDW
and LDP systems could result in serious
personal injury or death.
. The LDW and LDP systems will not
steer the vehicle or prevent loss of
control. It is the driver’s responsibility
to stay alert, drive safely, keep the
vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in
control of the vehicle at all times.
. The LDP system may activate if you
change lanes without first activating
your turn signal or, for example, if a
construction zone directs traffic to
cross an existing lane marker. If this
occurs, you may need to apply cor-
rective steering to complete your lane
change.
. Because the LDP system may not
activate under the road, weather,
and lane marker conditions described
in this section, it may not activate
every time your vehicle begins to
leave its lane and you will need to
apply corrective steering. .
Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system
— warns the driver with a warning light and chime that the vehicle is begin-
ning to leave the driving lane.
. Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) system
— warns the driver with a warning light and chime, and helps assist the driver
to return the vehicle to the center of
the traveling lane by applying the
brakes to the left or right wheels
individually (for a short period of
time).

LDP SYSTEM OPERATION
The LDP system operates above approxi-
mately 45 MPH (70 km/h) and when the
lane markings are clear.
If the vehicle approaches either the left or
right side of the traveling lane, the LDW
indicator light (orange) on the instrument
panel will flash and a warning chime will
sound. Then, the LDP system will automa-
tically apply the brakes for a short period of
time to help assist the driver to return the
vehicle to the center of the traveling lane.
NOTE:
.The LDP system is not designed to work
when you operate the lane change signal
and change traveling lanes in the direc-
tion of the signal. (The LDP system will
become operable again approximately 2
seconds after the lane change signal is
turned off.)
. The LDP braking assist will not operate
or will stop operating and only a warn-
ing chime will sound under the following
conditions.
— When the brake pedal is depressed.
— When the steering wheel is turned as
far as necessary for the vehicle to
change lanes.
— When the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed while brake control assist is provided.
— When the ICC, DCA, BSI, BSW,
PFCW or FEB warnings sound.
— When the hazard warning flashers
are operated.
— When driving on a curve at a high
speed.
. While the LDP system is operating, you
may hear a sound of brake operation.
This is normal and indicates that the
LDP system is operating properly.

vehicle traveling in front of the vehicle ahead
in the same lane.
PREDICTIVE FORWARD COLLISION
WARNING (PFCW) (if so equipped)

4. Drive at economical speeds and dis-tances.
.Observing the speed limit and notexceeding 60 MPH (97 km/h) (where
legally allowed) can improve fuel
efficiency due to reduced aerody-
namic drag.
.Maintaining a safe following distance
behind other vehicles reduces unne-
cessary braking.
.Safely monitoring traffic to anticipatechanges in speed permits reduced
braking and smooth acceleration
changes.
.Select a gear range suitable to roadconditions.
5. Use cruise control.
.Using cruise control during highway driving helps maintain a steady speed.
.Cruise control is particularly effectivein providing fuel savings when driving
on flat terrains.
6. Plan for the shortest route.
.Utilize a map or navigation system to determine the best route to save time.
7. Avoid idling.
.Shutting off your engine when safe for stops exceeding 30-60 seconds
saves fuel and reduces emissions. 8. Buy an automated pass for toll roads.
.Automated passes permit drivers to
use special lanes to maintain cruising
speed through the toll and avoid
stopping and starting.
9. Winter warm up.
.Limit idling time to minimize impact to fuel economy.
.Vehicles typically need no more than30 seconds of idling at start-up to
effectively circulate the engine oil
before driving.
.Your vehicle will reach its ideal oper-ating temperature more quickly while
driving versus idling.
10. Keeping your vehicle cool.
.Park your vehicle in a covered parking area or in the shade whenever possi-
ble.
.When entering a hot vehicle, openingthe windows will help to reduce the
inside temperature faster, resulting in
reduced demand on your A/C system. .
Keep your engine tuned up.
. Follow the recommended scheduled
maintenance.
. Keep the tires inflated to the correct
pressure. Low tire pressure increases tire
wear and lowers fuel economy.
. Keep the wheels in correct alignment.
Improper alignment increases tire wear
and lowers fuel economy.
. Use the recommended viscosity engine
oil. (See “Engine oil and oil filter recom-
mendation” (P.10-5).)
